Significance
President Umaro Sissoco Embalo had dissolved the previous PAIGC-dominated National People’s Assembly in May 2022 following disputes over constitutional reform and accusations over alleged PAIGC involvement in a bloody February 2022 coup attempt.
Impacts
The presence of a regional force will likely protect Embalo from any coup attempt.
IMF-supported fiscal consolidation measures may worsen cost-of-living concerns.
Food insecurity may fuel social unrest.
